Then I met this guy, Kedar Massenburg, who was managing D'Angelo at the time, and he understood what I was doing. A couple put me into artist development-a Special Ed kind of thing.
We separated and I moved to New York and auditioned for many labels and they didn't really get it. But in my heart, I didn't want to be in a group. We took a couple of pictures and we were called Erykah Free-his name was Free. I wrote my first song when I was in a group with my cousin, called "Apple Tree." My cousin liked the song he played it for people and they liked it, and I said, "Alright, another one!"-and on and on, until we had put together a 14-song demo in Dallas in his room. I just didn't know if it'd be theater or film. I liked singing and any kind of art and I knew this love for art and this practicing would be my career at some point.
Erykah Badu: I had been a theater major and a dancer for most of my life, from the time I was 4 years old.
